Shrink! Shrank! Shrunk!: Make Stylish Shrink Plastic Jewelry

The cover of this book sold me on the content before I even looked inside. Ingenious, quality projects that look like something an adult would make and wear. In most cases, you can't even tell that shrinkable plastic was used to make the items. I love that the introduction of the book talks about other recyclable plastics that can be used for shrinking and also goes over techniques so that you're not basically just going from manufacturer's directions to make the projects. A great collaboration of artists with an eye for mixing fun with quality.

I really enjoyed the ideas in this book, and it was nice to have a variety of projects available in a compact book versus having to look different ideas up on the internet, especially for crafting on vacation, etc. The book is complete with a list of tools, what works for shrink art (even if you don't have poly shrink on hand) and tips on coloring.

This book has lots of easy projects and a few that are much more complicated. The instructions are clear and the first chapter on how everything works is very informative. Who knew Shinky plastic was #5 and items purchased from the produce department could very well be in a shrinkable container. My only complaint would be more patterns, maybe include some holiday jewelry.

such a creative out of the box idea to use shrink plastic. The very idea of making such cute things this book is full of makes me wish for time to play immediately. Maybe some of these projects are not for little hands, but any young adult (all ages of us!) can make magic happen in a fun and creative way with the ideas presented. great resource!

I kept checking this out from the library so after 5 times, decided to buy it. Starts with all the basics with good instructions. It's a good starting place.

I got the book and devoured it as I do all the craft/art books I buy. The reason I got this book though is because I wanted to start making my own jewelry from the inkjet shrink plastic. I have been doing this for about 2-3 months now but keep running into a problem that is driving me nuts!! I follow all the steps for doing the inkjet shrink plastic. But somewhere between baking and sealing I get all this lint on my piece. I've been using a spray acrylic. ANY TIPS WOULD BE HELPFUL, I'VE GOOGLED EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF AND DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO LOOK FOR AN ANSWER. Thank you for any direction!

Purchased the book while working on ideas for my daughters wedding paper crafts. The book served as a great inspiration but because of the number of items we needed to produce; it was not very practical. Instructions are very clear and easy to follow but I have to admit I used Shrinky Dinks when I was a child. The magic is still there but with a sophisticated twist!

This book is really well organized. It's not just a how to make these projects book, it's really designed to help you learn basic to advanced techniques for designing your own jewlery, but it also includes really amazing projects. Already tried my first pair of earrings and they are beautiful. If you are thinking about taking on shrinky dink jewelry this book is a must have.

Very good book. Perfect instructions for a beginner using shrink art.

Ein wunderschön gestaltetes Buch mit jeder Menge Tipps für die Verwendung von Schrumpffolien. Ich benutze Schrumpffolie zum Bedrucken und drucke auf meinem Tintenstrahldrucker meine gescannten, gemalten oder gezeichneten Vorlagen oder nehme einfach Bilder aus dem Internet und drucke die Motive. Bin echt begeistert was man alles herstellen kann. Macht jede Menge Spaß!

斬新なデザインが多く、とても参考になりました。 作り方の手順は載ってなく、完成写真と文章(英文)のみですが、見ているだけでも楽しめます。 プラ板で、こんな素敵なアクセサリーが出来るんだと、驚きの連続でした。 全ての作品の図案が載ってるので、描き写すだけで作品が作れます。

Un livre qui montre que le plastique fou n'est pas que pour les enfants & qu'avec un peu de dextérité manuelle on peut obtenir des résultats vraiment jolis. Pour les franco-françaises, le fait qu'il soit en anglais ne nuit pas à la compréhension, pas d'inquiétude ;) Je le conseille.

Ho acquistato un libro usato ma è arrivato un libro praticamente nuovo! Bellissime foto, spiegazioni molto chiare anche per me che sono una principante! Libro consigliato. Spedizione veloce. Infatti è arrivato prima del previsto. Tutto ok.
